The federal government employed more than 642,000 Veterans in 2024, and even with the roughly 3% reductions of the overall workforce we’ve seen this year, the U.S. government is still the largest employer in our country, with over 2 million employees.
In fact, regardless of political climate, the U.S. government has employed approximately 1.8M to 2.4M people for the past 60 years.
Roughly 1 in 4 federal employees are Veterans, mostly working in the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the military branches.
On top of that, the Veteran’s Preference program has given former service members a competitive edge since 1944 and is still in place to this day.
However, you still need a clear, concise, and accomplishment-driven resume to “prove” your value to federal agencies. Federal resumes are very different than private sector resumes, and must “translate” your military experience into civilian-friendly language.
